Description of problem: New F15 install fails to recognize any IDE hard drives or CD rom drives Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Expected results: Kernel modules from a working linux distro which can work with the IDE drives from kernel 2.6.34 $ /sbin/lsmod | egrep -i '(ata|ide|scsi)' sata_nv 18870 1 libata 157641 1 sata_nv scsi_mod 165651 3 sg,sd_mod,libata ide_cd_mod 23896 0 ide_generic 1091 0 [permanent] Fedora kernel 2.6.38.6-27 $ /sbin/lsmod | egrep -i '(ata|ide|scsi)' pata_mpiix 2284 0 ata_generic 2647 0 pata_acpi 2367 0 pata_amd 7896 0 sata_nv 16470 3 Additional info: Motherboard is Asus nForce4, using kernel param sata_nv.adma=0 has no effect.
Created attachment 501351 [details] kernel config diff between vanilla 2.6.38 with working IDE controllers and FC15 default Enabling kernel module amd74xx, ide_generic, and ide_cd_mod seems to have allowed the hdds to be accessed.

Also ata_generic is the proper replacement for ide_generic and it is loaded. (Mixing the old ide and the new ata drivers is not a good idea.) Please attach all the boot messages from the fedora kernel (as a plain-text attachment.)
